When Alix’s night terrors begin to scream, she realizes the necklace she holds is more than an heirloom, it's something that could save her life.

Charlotte a once beautiful spoiled princess turns mad as she watches her true love die night after night in a bizarre scene at the top of her castle. The necklace she possesses somehow connects her to her love and enables her to see him though he always dies. When others find she has the necklace and try to steal it from Charlotte, she realizes her life is in danger and she may not see her love anymore. Passing on the necklace it eventually lands in the hands of Alix and causes her to have night terrors. Her best friends Luke and Sterling accompany Alix on a journey to find where the necklace belongs. Jealousy, screaming night terrors, a daunting castle, and a silver wrapped pink pearl necklace, intertwine into a maze that Alix must break through to save herself and her friends.

Dear S.D., I love your fantasy of the search for the meaning of all these dreams & the quest to solve it. :) Your pitch is excellent, so set the hook for me to read your book. :) When you use short paragraphs & lots of dialogue, it makes me want to keep reading to find out what's going to happen next. I'm backing your book. :) Could you please take a moment to back my TWO memoir books? Thanks, ...

This is information from authonomy (so beware of any other untrue information you may receive that is spam & not quotes of authonomy):"When you back a book, it only improves the ranking of that book, not yours. However, the author whose book you are backing may decide to back your book also, in which case yes, your ranking would be improved"...authonomy quote."Every time you place a book on your bookshelf, your recommendation pushes the book up the rankings. And while that book sits on your bookshelf, your reputation as a talent spotter increases depending on how well that book performs.

This such an enchanting piece. Other people have already mentioned the need for technical edits, so I won't repeat them, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself with this piece, losing myself in the gripping and dramatic story-line.

Hello S.D.Gillian. I loved your story, it has such a great potential to go very far. My only advise as a reader (and by no means an expert) is to pad it out a little more. The narrative goes a little quickly and the suspense is lost a little in the flow of the book. The necklace being passed down through the family and the night terrors have my interest peaked as I am personally familiar with the premise. I ...

Hello S.D.Gillian.

I loved your story, it has such a great potential to go very far. My only advise as a reader (and by no means an expert) is to pad it out a little more. The narrative goes a little quickly and the suspense is lost a little in the flow of the book. The necklace being passed down through the family and the night terrors have my interest peaked as I am personally familiar with the premise.

This is a book ideal for teenage girls. What more could they ask for than a princess, a castle, and a magic necklace? I like your flowing writing style; moves the story forward at a good pace. The way you describe characters – enough words so we know what they look like but not so much you slow things down - is a second good technique you use to be certain this keeps moving. A good read. Burgio (Grain of ...

I like the concept, and some of the passages are very gripping. However, there are some passages (starting with your synopsis), where the grammar and punctuation really needs some editing. This is such a good story that it deserves to be tightened up and made as good as it can possibly be. For me, it's just not quite ready yet. Good luck with this. R

This is beautifully written. An intriguing story, love, madness, mystery, murder it is all there. You have a gift for story telling and your writing flows so well that one is carried along into the place that you have created. I will pop this on my shelf as soon as I have space, in the next day or so and I wish you the very best of luck with it. - Diane

I would have loved to have read this when I was fifteen or so (not saying that it would not be successful with adults, of course!) The poor boys in CHapter Seven who do now know what to do without her night terrors telling them what to do-- it's so cute and so imaginative. Backed.

This is a most interesting first chapter and the second one was even more engaging. You have created a wonderful story that will fully engage your target readership. Your pitch was very intriguing and I felt your prose suitably matched your themes. Overall, a very entertaining story. Backed. Carl. Time Hunters

Let me start by saying that your gift is story-telling.. You have a wonderful way with taking the reader with you and creating characters that seem real;. I also believe that this could be successful with adults too.

Thanks for the comment and backing. Here’s a few comments from my read of your book. Short pitch: Perhaps “When Alix’s night terrors turn to screams.. – but perhaps I don’t understand the your point so I may be off base. The story is very original as far as I can tell but does have a warm and familiar feeling to it – very interesting. The grammar/spelling looks solid and proofread /copyedited – I can usually find one instance where ...

Thanks for the comment and backing.Here’s a few comments from my read of your book.Short pitch:Perhaps “When Alix’s night terrors turn to screams.. – but perhaps I don’t understand the your point so I may be off base.The story is very original as far as I can tell but does have a warm and familiar feeling to it – very interesting. The grammar/spelling looks solid and proofread /copyedited – I can usually find one instance where a writer forgets the comma before the character name in dialogue – not so here.The only small comment is that the chapters end without much drama or closure. For example; Ch4 ends and Ch5 starts on the same scene/action. I actually like short chapters but just found them breaks didn’t add much– just an observation, not necessarily an alarm.Backed with a wish for good luck and success.James

He looked a mess to say the least… this line has too childish a sound to fit in well with the rest of your prose, which has been good. The necklace wasn’t as attractive as he was and Charlotte felt disappointed to look at it… This is a bit awkward. You have the makings of a good story here. I think the necklace is a very creative touch. There are moments when I think Charlotte’s pain could be better shown ...

You have the makings of a good story here. I think the necklace is a very creative touch. There are moments when I think Charlotte’s pain could be better shown through her actions rather than the exposition of the narrator, but for the most part this was entertaining. Worth a turn on the shelf.
